Facebook was attacked, more than 50 million user accounts are at risk of being leaked

More than 50 million Facebook user accounts are affected by a recent cyber attack. This is a new announcement released by the world's largest social network.

According to Facebook, taking advantage of the gaps in the "View As" function (see your own personal page as another person) of Facebook, the bad guys made a cyberattack this week and made the account of more than 50 million users at risk of being exposed.

Facebook immediately corrected the security hole. At the same time, this social network also recommends that users should change their Facebook account password and check if the account information has been changed.

" This is a very serious incident and we are working hard to strengthen security," said Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's chief executive .

Reportedly, yesterday (September 28, 2018), more than 90 million Facebook users were forced to log out of their accounts to minimize the number of accounts that leaked information.

This means that if your Facebook account is like any other application that uses this account to log in automatically, then your Facebook has been hacked.

After logging back in, affected Facebook users will see a notification on the News Feed explaining what happened.
